Given that interactive fiction is now some forty years
old, where's it headed now? A look at IF, its history, and interviews
with Andrew Plotkin, Adam Cadre, Emily Short, Stephen Granade, Dan
Ravipinto and Star Foster.

The January 2003 issue of PC Gamer UK had an article
about interactive fiction. The article's writer, Richard Cobbett,
interviewed several IF authors as part of the article. However, only
snippets of the interviews appeared in the magazine. I've gotten
permission to present several of the full interviews.

When I was doing my article on Skotos, I had the
chance to talk to Brian Moriarty about the challenges of designing
commercial text-based MUDs, his experiences at Infocom, and his
thoughts on the current state of interactive fiction.
